Last night switched from water to coolant (70/30). Ran it and no problem.
Today road to wash and then downtown to work ~4 miles away.
All was good. Had to shrink wrap and electrical tape the front small breather hose because pulled a "Tony too tight" which tore the hose. Happy no leak..for now and hopefully however long it takes to get new one.
Did a spin around the Loop before heading out and after a few miles of city riding (turning off bike when catching fresh red) she decides to pulse out coolant from Weephole.
Zero leaks with water since changing seal two weeks ago and riding in some 90 degree heat.
Today is low to mid 80's with cool breeze off lake. Minimal standing.
Guessing it is just coincidental and when breather puked oil engine heated up and cooked seal, weakening it so it popped with minimal strain.
Does the pulsing of the ejection of fluid mean anything specific? Thought it normally just seeped out consistently.
Thanks for any incite from the long toothed Berg owners!
